At the Theatre Tonight.

John +. Ward in "The Doctor" will be
to-night's attraction at the theatre Mr..
Ward is one of the cleverest comedians on
the stage, and 1.-THE Doctor" in which Mr..
Ward appears as Higgins" the doctors
servant, is one of the funniest of plays.
The Times Union says of Wednesday
nights performance in Jacksonville that
Mr.. Wards songs, "Once i'll a Thousand
Years and Pm Sorry 1t Ever Occurred
seemed to find the pulse of the audience,
though he did not seem to meet with equal
success when attempting to locate the pulse
of IA ''so-called" patient whose treatment he
undertook during the doctors absence. The
medicine prescribed was strong as were
the twinges of Higgins conscience after
inquiring into the power of the article adj
ministered, but fortunately for the alleged
doctors future peace of mind, the patient
was strong" also, and not only survived
the treatment, but conceived very strong
admiration for Higgins as ''so-called"
physician. Higgins ludicrous assumption
of scientific knowledge and persistent en-
deavor to use Understanding, technical terms
was something very amusing 'as it were. ~

THE DECEMBER COURTS.

The Grand Juries and Both County
and City Courts to Meet Monday.
On Monday, Dec. ., the Superior Court
will begin the December term and the City
Court will resume its sitting. The grand
iuries will both meet and begin their work
Of indicting and recommending. There is
about the usual amount Of business await
ing the courts. There are nearly thirty
criminal cases for the Superior Court and
about twenty-three for the City Court
Most of these are small cases which will
probably be disposed of early in the term
in order TO clear the Jail. The more i'm
portant criminal cases will go over until
perhaps the latter part of January.
There will be some interesting
trials when they come on, but
the many small cases both civil and crimi-
nal must be disposed of before these can be
taken up. The civil business in the City
Court is very light, and most of the cases
are small. In the Superior Court the civil
docket is heavy, but most of the cases are
those which went over from the last term.
Comparatively few civil suits have been
filed so far. The work of the courts during
this term viii no doubt be heavy before
they get through with the unfinished and
the new business.

THE DAY IN CHARLESTON.
What is Going on in South Cardinals
Metropolis CITY.

The proposed phosphate bill in its general
features, the NeUs and Courier says IS
likely to be accepted as a good law by both
the land and river companies.
The cotton kings around and about the
Charleston Exchange are talking of re-
establishing the old private cotton pool
The object of the pool is not to affect the
cotton market. 1t will be something on the
order of a guessing class to be composed of
gentlemen from South Carolina Georgia
and even from Alabama, if they desire to
"come in on the hit" The idea is to get up
a kind of Jackpot of sealed envelopes con-
tanning five-dollar bills and the guesser's
estimate as the years production of cotton
The ultimate authority as to this production
is to be the New York Financial Chronicle
When the statement of this journal is pub
lished they will "call the game" and the
most approximate guesser rakes in the pot
1t has been customary that the man who
captures the Doodle should set up the cham
payne, etc, and this custom win probably
become part of the re-organized pool.

INQUIRY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Liverpool Authorities Looking Into
the Matter of Ship Fires.


the Matter of Ship Fires.
The Glasgow Scotland Mail prints a re-
port of the inquiry commenced in Liverpool
by stipendiary magistrate and Sir Digby
Murray, one of the inspectors of the Board
Of Trade into the recent fire on board the
West Hartlepool steamer Hawarden, now
in dock in Liverpool
The Hawarden, a vessel of / ,167 tons net
register, had on board cargo of 4 SIG bales
of cotton, which were loaded at Savannah.
She left here on Oct. Is, bound for ReEaL
On the morning Of Nov. l, when the steamer
was not far from the Irish coast, the cargo
was found to be on fire. A jet of steam
was promptly directed into the hold, where
the fire was supposed to be, and the hose
was got into play, whilst the vessels course
was altered for Queenstown. The fire was
kept under sufficiently TO enable the latter
port to be reached, and subsequently she
proceeded to Liverpool Whilst the cargo
was being discharged in dock in Liverpool
the fire again broke out, and it was esti-
mated that about one-third of the entire
cargo was either destroyed or seriously
injured.
The evidence taken was that of the Cap
tain (Mr. William Wilson,, Mr.. T. S. Hud-
son, a director of the Hudson Steamship
Company, to which the vessel belonged, the
uTSJ Object, Uue uISO eng ln6er, ana various
members of the crew. They all stated that
great precautions were taken at Savannah
in the loading of the cargo, and they could
not give any reason for the outbreak of the
fire. The Captain stated that smoking was
strictly prohibited upon the wharves, or
upon the decks, or in the holds of vessels
at Savannah, and inspectors were employed
to enforce the prohibition. He did not in
terfere with his own men as to smoking in
the forecastle, but he allowed
smoking nowhere else, and he did
not think any had taken place.
All the ventilators of the ship
were securely covered, so that no match or
spark could find its way down. The main
boiler fires were not lighted during the load
ing, and no sparks could come from the
donkey engine funnel. Questioned as to pos
sible incendiarism, he said he had heard it
rumored that fires on cotton ships loaded at
Savannah, of which great number had
happened at the same time, had been inten-
tionally caused, but he had never been able
to get proof as to this The mate, Mr..
Bryan, gave further evidence on this point
of a somewhat remarkable nature, in which
he referred to the almost simultaneous break
ing out of fires on the Hughenden, of the
same line as the Hawarden, the Naples and
Resolute, and also on the Dessoug.

TO SAVE THE CITY MONEY.
A Reduction in the Cost OF the Scaven-
ger Service.

ger service.
The estimates which have been made of
what the city will save by operating its
own scavenger department, show that there
will be an annual saving to the city Of sew
eral thousand dollars. At first it was thought
that the only benefit which would be de-
rived would be from an increased amount
of work obtained from the outlay of no
greater amount of money, but it has been
found that not only will the amount of
work the department will do be increased,
but the expenses will be cut down.
The present contract system costs the
that there is much work to
be done on Sundays in the summer
and the city pays out several hundred dol
lars every season for that. A scavenger
department of its own would cost it but a
little over $13, 900 and that would include
the Sunday work and much extra work
which is not now done. The contract is
carefully drawn, still questions arise be
tween the city and the contractor as to his
duties in cases that could not have been
anticipated. These difficulties will all be
avoided by the new system and teams can
often be used in other departments, such as
the odorless excavating department.
The cost Of equipping the department is
estimated at about $1,000, but it may be
much less. If the cats now in use can be
bought for reasonable sum they will be
purchased. Changes would have to be
made in them, however. They have Stats
in the bottoms to permit fluid matter to
drain through to the streets. This matter
should be hauled away with the solid refuse
and it will be when the city takes charge.
After the first outlay the city will save
money, and it may be that the plant can be
bought and the department run for year
for the same amount of money that it would
another year

MORE THAN A CENTURY OLD.
Death of Maria Steel, Aged Over 115
Years


Maria Steel, colored, said to have been
rs years old, died yesterday morning at
her sons house, No. II Gordon street. Al
though extremely feeble and with hardly
remnant of mind left, she lived to attain
her 1l5th birthday. There are some doubts
as to the woman's age, though her family
say that she was 115 years old, She was
born in Rockingham county, North Caro-
lima, in 1772 and passed most of her life
there until five years ago when she came to
Savannah to live with her SON. She had two
children, Green and Elijah Steel, one of
whom lives here and the other in North
Carolina. Both are well advanced in years.
Green is employed at the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railway, and it was at his
home that his mother died. She was
small woman, active in body and had a
clear mind up to about a year ago, when
she began to fail, until she lost her mind
and finaRy died. Her funeral will take
place this afternoon.

Alarms-Both Fires Slight.
An alarm of fire was sounded about II
o'clock last night, but it sounded irregu-
larly and it was not known whether it was
from box No 3 or No. 12. One of the en-
gines went to No - and then found that
the alarm had come from No. 3, the police
barracks. The fire was in a small frame
house, No. A Hull street, which was oc-
cupied by Samuel Brown, a colored man.
The roof caught from the chimney and a
small hole was burned in it. That portion
of the fire department which went there
extinguished the blaze before the amount
of the damage had reached S..
A telephone alarm was sent to firemen's
headquarters from West Broad and Presi-
dent streets about 7:30 O'clock last night
because the chimney of the Telfair Widows
Home was burning. Nothing burned but
the chimney, but the widows and children
who live in the home were badly fright
